-   Proposed replacement for SIOC{ADD,DEL}MULTI and
-   IFF_PROMISC, IFF_ALLMULTI flags.
-
-   It is more expensive, but I believe,
-   it is really correct solution: reentereble, safe and fault tolerant.
-
-   IFF_PROMISC/IFF_ALLMULTI/SIOC{ADD/DEL}MULTI are faked by keeping
-   reference count and global flag, so that real status is
-   (gflag|(count != 0)), so that we can use obsolete faulty interface
-   not harming clever users.
